A few quick notes

Today is actually very busy day, we can spare you the trouble of reading long text; let's entertain ourselves with a pell-mell interesting screen grabs and links...

Look like Euro Truck Simulator 2 is in really fine company in the sales charts already!

We were asked by our friends at Czech website SvetSim to help them promote their ETS2 competition - note that this link is any good for Czech readers only.

If you still cannot satisfy your fix for more YouTube clips of footage from ETS2, we recommend again our ETS2 YouTube playlist with beta tester recordings.

There are some very positive reviews of the game coming in from Brazil, if you know the language, you can read them here and here.

Last but definitely not least - our work on support for more languages in the game engine is going very well now, we have preliminary results with Korean and they look (as far as we can tell) quite believable. So we'll be looking for translators for more non-European languages - Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese... Unfortunately right-to-left written languages are still beyond our reach, but we'll revisit this code again in the future.

Although i have to admit i like the idea about a early realeased demo of the game even more.. Not only would it give the fans a chance to try it out, but it would take some of the stress from their download servers on the 19. October :-)

If they continue at this level, the ETS 3 may be the best simulator of the last decades, not counting the endless possibilities and the possibility of DLC's expansion of territory, can you imagine an ETS International?

Anonymous October 16, 2012 4:11 PMWhere are the Double Trailer,CB Radio;Pedestrians,Seasons etc. Where the Devs.of 18 wheels of Steel haulin?

Like Mark said Ped's are in the game, as for the others;Double Trailers are illegal in the UK, because of the length.CB Radio, Seasons: These could be brought in in a later patch; it has been said many times, that they are releasing it yet they know that more things need to be done, and they are working on them now. For all these things to have been included in this release, we would have been waiting for probably another 3 or 4 years. Rig n Roll anybody?

I found this in the first Brazilian review"If you are behind them and flashing light, they open up passing lanes for doubles" Does this confirm doubles as being in the? Not that I really care but I know a lot of other people on this blog do!

Just want to say, so looking forward to this, well done, sounds and looks fantastic, I know I/we wont be disappointed.I ordered my copy from Amazon months ago, but I've decided that I too will also buy a digital download copy, just so that more of the money will go to SCS. Good luck, you deserve to make a lot of profit for the work you have put in. Now come on Friday!!

1. Change your name. 2. Actually I'm getting it from Excalibur publishing early. 3. How mature, somebody who thinks they're the hacker group anonymous has a vendetta against me because I replied to their comment, and my response: http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/14251910.jpg

Oh, and by the way, at least I have parents, you probably just appeared in a box outside a charity shop.

Hacker group ? lol. It doesn't take a computer genius to find your facebook or email address which I am going to report now because you are too young for one. REALLY badass.jpeg how original. Saying I don't have parents, WOW the most juvenile thing a person can say to another person

What do you have against me? I disagree with what you want in ETS 2 so about 3 different people shut down my Facebook account and then bother me on the blog.

But who gives a s**t? I'm creating a new account now. You've sort of helped me, my old embarrassing Facebook posts on my timeline are gone. All I have to do is create a new email. Also, good look getting someone who thinks they're called anonymous for "presindent". Who's immature now?

Oh of course, you've proved yourself a lot more mature than me, a 12 year old. My reason for argument: You shut down my Facebook account. Your reason for argument: You just feel like arguing. I'll ask you one last time, why don't you like me? Until you find a valid reason for arguing with me, I will not comment towards you again.

And BTW, I'm nearly old enough to claim back my account by providing ID to Facebook, so you've not done much harm.

Yeah, I know, but what does that have to do with half of you idiots being against me? Mark Zuckerbird said he doesn't care if you have to enter a fake age, he encourages children of all ages to join Facebook. He would change the rules if it was legal, but Facebook is forced to use COPPA.

Shut your mouth! Only one position under FIFA13 on German Amazon? That's really impressive. But you know, something is even more interesting, that tractor simulator as no.1 and football manager as no.3 in that chart. Maybe a specific taste of German gamers for simulations? Hard to say, but maybe it partly explains ETS2 success too.

But it doesn't matter, really. Being in top 10, with FIFA or COD or WOW addon, that's simply an amazing success. You deserve it.

I'we talked to Origin support yesterday and they told me that tey dont have that info yet and that i should check on 19th if there's available to download... I dont know wheere to buy it digitaly anymore?!?! piratbay maybe? :(

Which are the trucks with real engine sound recorded? I saw on the blog some videos with Scania, Renault Premium+Magnum and Mercedes Actros sound recording sesion...there are anymore truck with real sound?

Wow , teasing!(atleast, i don't remember seeing the "check back ..." message yesterday). First time (in age) that i'm that excited for a game ! Less than 24 hours and i feel the sleepless night coming for me!BTW thanks SCS , i hope you'll have success with it because you deserve it!!

just pick a game(doesn't matter wich one(ETS 2 isn't an option)) and then click on live chat, or e-mail. what you prefer. and then find the email you got when you pre-ordered it. the information in there will be needed to cancel

Release the game has enough pull to October 19. One day is not important.You always let their game 3-4 days before release. And here, you want it on October 19. The most interesting patch is released on October 17, October 19 and the game? Complete nonsense, then when there was a patch to be released, and the game itself, why do we not patch the game, themselves think?

I feel there's quite a big potential market in China if Chinese is on the language list. I'm personally an English-Chinese interpreter, and a big fan of this game, too. Are you open for part-time translations?
